‘Reel’ life 🎞️

Same but different, tweaked it slightly for summer ☀️🐾

Hi to all the new faces from the last few months 👋

None better in my opinion!

If your weekends are planned around food then i’ve said it before and I’ll say it again the Broad Chare Sunday lunch takes some beating.

A few new things on the menu including rhubarb oysters which were delicious last week, and the beer garden is back open for a drink before or after. Total sun trap! ☀️🍻

Get F.A.T at Etto!

Feta, avocado and tomatoes on sourdough with red onion, and optional poached egg 👌🏼

Went for coffee and ended up ordering this after @ouremstonehome_ did and I had food envy - it was lush!

See The Fighting Temeraire - only until September!

See The Fighting Temeraire - only until September!

ad| Turner’s famous ‘The Fighting Temeraire’ painting is in Newcastle at the @laingartgallery as the centrepiece of an exhibition that celebrates art history and nostalgia - all of which are brought together on Tyneside. I was invited to the unveiling last week to see it.

🖼️ On loan from the National Gallery to celebrate its 200 year anniversary, the painting itself is the last journey of the naval vessel, and the two tug boats that pulled it were manufactured here on Tyneside.

Other paintings and photographs in the exhibition also show that local industry and history- Wallsend shipyards, Hebburn & Jarrow coal mines, and scenes of the working River Tyne.

💷 You might recognise it from James Bond - Skyfall, Bond meets Q sitting in front of it, or the back of our £20 pound notes.

🚊 Jump on the @my_metro - an official partner of the exhibition and enjoy the convenience of the gallery just a few minutes walk from Monument.

🎟️ Full price tickets are £5, concessions £4. Free for 21 and under. Really worth a visit even if you don’t usually like art!

Iced vanilla lattes to be exact 🧊☕️

They’re my absolute favourite but I find they can be hit and miss depending how they’re made. Nothing more disappointing than when they’re not quite right.

Wombat Wisdom do a lovely one, with a side of chocolate banana bread 😋

Rise and shine ☀️

I’m going for a beach walk and coffee, Sunday lunch and a couple of drinks. How’s your Sunday looking?

PS if you were the two girls sea dipping at sunrise at King Edward’s bay yesterday morning (fourth clip) I have a ten second video of you both chatting and laughing away that’s very wholesome 🌅

What a weekend for Tynemouth Food Festival ☀️

What a weekend for Tynemouth Food Festival ☀️

Glorious out there this morning and it’s set to stay for most of the weekend 🕶️🍦

@tynemouthfoodfest (ad) pre sale tickets are sold out but you can pay on the day subject to site capacity if you want to venture to the coast and enjoy some good scran and support our local traders

🐾 Dogs are welcome on leads but can’t go in marquees

Just FYI traffic is a nightmare around Tynemouth at the moment especially in good weather and even more so with the works going on along the front - try get public transport if you can.

I have a fun weekend planned and hope you all do too x

How to glamp solo… - choose a luxury place it d

How to glamp solo…

- choose a luxury place it does make life a lot easier especially if you don’t get good weather
- find somewhere with a hot tub it’s so relaxing
- pay for the pre light of the hot tub, saves hours
- learn quickly how to light fires yourself anyway
- take a book
- plan day trips nearby
- take your favourite treats
- having an enclosed safe space for the dog is ideal
- people love to switch off when glamping but if i’m on my own I really need wifi for the uninterrupted scroll (and safety)
- make a playlist, a lot of luxury glamps have speakers Harry Styles was the soundtrack to my stay here
- don’t forget the wine or coffee, enjoying both outside is a next level wholesome vibe

Is it something you’d do on your own?

I’m deciding where to book for this summer now I’ve inspired myself.

This place was @woodlandchaseglamping and genuinely one of the best glamping stays I’ve ever done 🌿🛖
